4. Experiencing a Common Core Classroom
Put your “student hat” on for this portion of our work. There will be lots of time to think like a teacher and ask questions about planning after you have some experiences as a learner.
Our purpose is for you to dig into the “subtle moves” that represent the shifts. While we are asking you to be “students,” be metacognitive about our choices/design.
